    Maximum mixing rate = 150 grams within 1 litre
    - Do not feed at higher concentrations unless you have discussed with MaxCare

    - e.g. 50kg calf = 5L = 5L x 125 grams CMR = 625 grams CMR within 5L
    Fortifying: do not exceed 15% combined milk solids (i.e. whole milk + CMR)

    Feed MaxCare® Milk Replacer ULTIMATE or PREMIUM for the first 3-4 weeks of a calf's life to get the best possible results.
